Find the area (in cm2) of an equilateral triangle whose sides are 18 cm.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. .
The area of an equilateral triangle with side length 's' is given by:
Area = (/4) × s
In this case, the side length (s) is 18 cm. So, we substitute this value into the formula:
⇒ Area = (/4) × (18)
⇒ Area = (/4) × 324
⇒ Area = 81 cm
Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle is 81√3 square centimeters.
